Seeing as though Im one of his biggest fans I was a little confused that I had never seen this video of his. It's crazy too. Directed by one of my favorites, Spike Jonze! It received one of the "video of the year" awards from the extra critical Pitchfork.com. Here is what Kanye had to say about that
I DEFINITELY WASN'T EXPECTING ALL THIS LOVE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. LOVE IS HUMBLING. SPIKE IS A GENIUS AND HE BROUGHT THE BEST OUT OF ME. HE CALLED IN A LOT A FAVORS AND WE DID THIS FILM FOR UNDER 50GS. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY INVOLVED. IBN KILT IT ALSO!!!! SOMETIMES A BIG IDEA CAN TAKE YOU FURTHER THAN A BIG BUDGET. I REMEMBER WHEN HE PITCHED IT TO ME, I WAS LIKE... UUUUUUUM.........WTF!!!!! ... BUT ONLY A COMPLETE IDIOT TURNS DOWN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE DIRECTED BY SPIKE JONZE. HE'S A REALLY GOOD FRIEND AND CALMING SPIRIT AND THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED MOST IN YOUR LIFE SOMETIMES. HE REMINDS ME OF JON BRION IN A WAY BECAUSE THEY BOTH CAN FIND THE HUMAN QUALITIES IN PEOPLE AND BRING THOSE TO THE FOREFRONT. THEY HAVE SO MUCH GOOD WILL THAT THEY LET ME USE SOME OF THAT TO OPEN DOORS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED OFF TO ME. THIS WAS THEEE MOST IN YOUR FACE CONCEPT BUT SPIKE MADE ME LOOK LIKE A HURT CHILD INSTEAD OF AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSHOLE. WHEN EVERYONE GOES BIG, GO SMALL. WHEN EVERYONE GOES CLEAN, GO DIRTY. WHEN EVERYBODY PUTS ON THE CRAZIEST OUTFITS EVER, PUT ON YOUR FAVORITE OLD BAND OF OUTSIDERS DINNER JACKET AND PULL A MONSTER OUT OF YOUR SOUL. I WISH I COULD SAY THAT MONSTER WAS TRULY DEAD BUT I THINK HE'LL BE BACK TO LIFE SITTING ON MY SHOULDER WHEN I GET BACK IN THE STUDIO.
WE WERE ONCE A FAIRYTALE BY SPIKE JONZE & KANYE WEST

Kanye also posted the new trailer for the New Iron Man movie, which is interesting because there was a little controversy surrounding the casting of Don Cheadle in the place of Terrence Howard. Last I heard Terrence wanted a raise for the sequel and the producers were like NO! lol So Don stepped in in his place. Anyway it still looks interesting. Scarlett Jo and Mikey Rourke have been added too....
